Kellie is dedicated and passionate about helping healthcare professionals find great jobs they will thrive in. Her favorite part about recruiting is playing a small but vital role in the healthcare world by supporting, guiding, and placing qualified candidates. One of Kellie’s favorite quotes is, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” She lives by this quote and applies it to her work every day.
If Kellie had one favorite city she would recommend to someone, it would be Manhattan, New York. She loves the vibrant food scene and iconic tourist attractions such as Times Square or the Statue of Liberty and she believes there’s something for everyone in Manhattan. Something unique about Kellie is that she loves what most people consider “bad weather” — she really enjoys the rain, snow, heavy winds and loves a good thunderstorm!
